In this episode, we talk about how to deal with toxic employees and co-workers – something that I know every cop deals with. We cover the 10 types of toxic people and how to identify them, work with them, and hopefully lead them. 

But perhaps most importantly, we talk about how easy it is to become one of these toxic people without evening knowing about it! 

It’s a great episode chock full of advice on how to lead with purpose and Be the One.
